Halo fractional laser and BBL (IPL on steroids) tend to do you well on a semi-annual basis if you're willing to keep up with daily SPF and a topical skincare regime. Fat atrophy? No. Not in hands of a skilled laser tech. Do your research and make sure they have solid RealSelf reviews. If you're going to get major resurfacing done (CO2), I'd recommend going for PRP to help speed up healing. It's an added cost, but the benefits are huge and your skin will show it.

I mean, that's just smart business. I wouldn't blame them if that were the case.

Rentboy Statute of Limitations... 6 months. He's way overdue. Survey says: NO BUENO.

BAM!

If you're going to play in a big boy world, act like an adult. I don't buy 'chickening out' for a second. Be straight-forward. Be honest. If you can't do it, just say so. Don't be a fucking schmuck. We're dealing with people here. People have emotions and concerns. It's not rocket science.

For a community that so desperately wants equality, we inner-segregate to a point of absurdity. My current home city (Dallas) is far from ideal if you're wanting a welcoming, connected gay community. I find that going out 'in the scene' is something I do very rarely. I had initially tried to get involved with the fundraising groups (HRC, Black Tie, DIFFA), but they too ended up being just as inclusive and judgmental as the bar scene... No bueno. I have a group of friends here who serve me well. It makes Dallas tolerable.

If ya wanna be somebody, if ya wanna go somewhere... You better wake up and pay attention.

Thicker skin sir. That wasn't criticism. You'll know when I'm being critical. What I offered was the advice he actually needed to hear: Advice that cuts through confusion and will serve him well into multiple meets.

Millie will be sanitized and politically-corrected for the new generation, or so I hear. #snooze Mack and Mabel could be incredible. It's got a solid score.

This. Don't listen to the timetables of a dozen online guys you don't know: Think about your needs, communicate them and hopefully you've picked a guy who can take your cues and run with them.

Holy shit, some of these responses. Easy to be cavalier when you're faceless and hiding behind a keyboard, eh? First off, I'm sorry about what happened. It's shitty, but clearly you got through it. I just hope it wasn't a cash bar at the wedding. In the future, don't let this experience stop you from hiring, but use it as a litmus test. As was said earlier in the thread, people are people. The advantage you have in this niche is that you can choose to see highly-reviewed people that you can get a feel for before meeting. In reading between the lines, you can figure out if someone is a fuck-and-go kind of guy or someone who works well socially, sexually and for longer stretches of time.

This year's show was just crap. So bad in fact that I couldn't watch it all at once, even fast-forwarding. Why they didn't have SJB sing The Way Of Love is beyond me. She sounds great on it: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/22/theater/tony-nominations-concert.html Be More Chill is a grand experiment gone wrong... And their producers didn't want to bid on a Tony slot. I don't see it lasting much longer, even with a small, but vocal fanbase. Oklahoma tries so hard. You can see the actors working feverishly to squeeze new meaning out of a very, very dry lime. Beetlejuice is better when you're drunk. I have a friend in it, so I've been more than once. The first time was sober and absolute crap. The second time was with a few double G&Ts in me. While it's still a show better suited for a theme park, it was an easier pill to swallow when the poop jokes make me chuckle.

That's something you need to discuss with your escort. There's no hard line on this.

... Well, now you're just bragging

GE rarely works in bars and nightclubs. Most bouncers and bartenders have zero clue about this ID. You'll waste more time explaining it to them. I'd suggest the passport card or run-of-the-mill state ID card.

What a lot of people don't realize is that if clients are wanting to see you, repeatedly, and you've got a healthy schedule to juggle, you don't need to adjust your rate to the local market. Granted, that's no reason to overcharge, but figuring out what your time is truly worth is the difference between working hard and working smart.

$4k is becoming a deal for Manhattan and it gets much worse as you move closer to the park (or Park Ave). What you're really paying for is what the airline industry lovingly calls not compromising the integrity of the front cabin Setting an HOA high allows for a lot of board wiggle room, fewer special assessments and while top-tier, white glove buildings still have their fair share of behavioral problems, it immediately weeds out a lot of people who would simply never qualify. Here in Dallas, a high HOA runs about a quarter-to-half of that and gives you a much newer, nicer building.

I've already forgiven him for reviving this, but now forgetting why it was done in the first place.

Is this a clothing-optional discussion? Do you have a thong?

I mean, you can put yourself in the gay bubble there, anytime, if you want. Personally, I always like a mix of people around me.

Why not PV? It's super gay-friendly, prices are low, people are friendly.

This situation has zero to do with Apple and the app store. Grindr has been doing this since the sellout. Blame China, not Apple.

Let's keep this clean of angry politics, lest it get moved to another forum

But you're talking about things that don't really involve the OP or his concern. As to my reply, I directed it at guys who produce a ton of questionable content, not the Instagays who have a super-slick social media presence. I can't disagree that a hot guy- of ANY race- will always get a second look and likely a first date. Bottom line, it's up that guy to be intelligent enough to handle his business in a way that keeps him desirable and his clients coming back for more. Being beautiful is only one piece of the pie when it comes to being someone's worldwide traveling companion.
